This came up as sort of side issue on another thread and since its something that tourists will deal with, and since it can be confusing, I thought it worth a tread for future reference.
Where I live there is a "standard" which is accurately shown in this link. The link can be useful for anyone with the same question on another country. https://www.addressexamples.com/hungary-address-format/
That for me would be something like:
SMITH Albert (surname given name)
Budapest (city)
Vasvári Pál utca 3 Fszt 7 (street name / street number / floor / unit number)
1061 (postal code)
HUNGARY (country in caps)
Commas seperating information are rarely used. Of course, if you want to understand the address you will also have to learn a little language and the abreviations often used.
- utca is street
- Fsz or Fszt (or often all lower case) in my case means ground floor (remember the first floor is the next floor up)
In this country the family name (surname) by tradition is placed first when the name is written for any purpose. As many in the country wish to be more "Western" they have begun putting the family name second and then if you dont know a family name from a given name that can be a source of confusion. Many, to eliminate that confusion, put the family name in all caps. But that is common, but not universal. I always do it as many here do not recognize which of my names is my family and which is my given.
Now, that is the "standard" but in practice its not as common as:
SMITH Albert
1061 Budapest
Vasvári Pál utca 3 Fszt 7
HUNGARY
Then there are phone numbers
06 30 123 456 or 06 (29) 123 456 is the local format, but try that with your US mobile phone and see what happens. You will use +36 30 123 356. The 30 is the area code, excpet when it isnt, then its the carrier code. TMobile for instance is 30.
I suspect there are different standards in a lot of countries, so ..... add your favorite country
